That's right.

Spitfire had enough ammo for about 15 seconds of continuous fire... so they made the most of every shell. When they ran out, they'd sometimes try to fly alongside the german planes and flip their wings to make them crash.

why were british fighters so lightly armed?

only .30-caliber machine guns?

yank fighters carried up to 8 .50-caliber machine guns. huns and nips usually had a mix of 20mm cannons and .30-caliber machine guns.

Went for speed over brute force I guess.

It's always been the way. During the Spanish Armada threat, the smaller more lightly armed british ships out shot the larger heavy armed spanish. And the Spitfires did the same against the more numerous Luftwaffe.

Aye the Brits were Manny in the sky. The Krauts were shot shane mosley.

luftwaffe had to travel all the way to britain that's why.

without having to make that trip (and being low on fuel) they'd have smashed the raf.

bf-109 was superior to hurricane/spitfire initially.

Americans are Floyd.

Don't do anything for couple years. Whilst everyone is getting it on.

Gets involved after everyones been at it.

I wouldn't say so. The Spitfires still out performed the Luftwaffe on counter strike missions and when the Germans were sending planes just from France.

you think so?

i'd rather have those cannons though.

plus wasn't the messerschmitts faster?


i'll take the ****e-wulf 190 over both.
